In Amber Daulton’s new romantic suspense, Ryan’s Temptation, Chanel and her sexy new neighbor witness a murder and flee the city. How will they stay alive with the killer tracking their every move?
Amber, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about Ryan’s Temptation.
Ryan’s Temptation by Amber Daulton
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Wrong place, wrong time. Now she’s running for her life.
Beautician Chanel Leroc can wield a pair of scissors like nobody’s business. After she witnesses a murder and lands on a serial killer’s hit list, she has to figure out how to protect herself—and fast. The killer tracks her down, but her sexy new neighbor, Dr. Ryan Naylor, drives the brute off.
The police dump the pair in a witness protection program, which doesn’t last long. Either the killer has a connection to the police, or he’s far more intelligent than they realize. All Chanel wants to do is get back to her safe life and get to know her neighbor better. Instead, she and Ryan hit the road and try to survive on their own.
How will they stay alive and keep their blooming romance intact with the killer hot on their trail?
Know the Heroine from Ryan’s Temptation
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Chanel will call up her best friend, Shea, to chat or will finagle all her girlfriends out to dinner and dancing. She hates to stay idle.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Chocolate. Duh! There’s nothing better than nugget, nuts, wafers, and chocolate all mixed together in a delicious candy bar.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Chanel is a fashionista. Give her a silky blouse, pencil skirt or tailored slacks, and sparkly high heels, and she’s good to go. Don’t ask her to choose between heels and cute little ankle boots. She won’t do it.
Does she know how to fix things?
She’s not afraid to get her hands dirty and will try to fix whatever is broken, but she’ll likely call for help if she breaks too many nails. Then she’ll make an emergency appointment for a mani and pedi.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Late one night, she’s walking home from dinner and hears a woman cry out behind a restaurant. She goes to investigate and sees the most horrific sight—a murder. The killer then goes after her. Though she manages to escape, she has to flee the city to stay one step ahead of the madman who wants her dead.
Pick up her book to know more.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She’s not great with kids, but she adores babies because they’re easier to handle and don’t talk back.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Grumpy until she’s swallowed lots of caffeine.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Coffee with milk and sugar. Cappuccinos are her favorite! She likes green tea too.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone, but she doesn’t use it throughout her story. Unfortunately, the police confiscated it when they put her in protective custody.
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Pierced, of course. How else could she wear all her sparkly, dangling earrings?
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
While she’s not against tattoos, she doesn’t have any. Her friend Mia has a butterfly on her shoulder, and her other friend Belle has a broken heart on her hip, and she thinks those tats are super cute.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
She prefers to take her car, but taxis and Ubers work too.
Recycle or toss?
She’s all about recycling.
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

A new Romantic Suspense – Arresting Benjamin by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance #RomanticSuspense
A one-night stand leads to an unplanned pregnancy in Amber Daulton’s sexy new romance, Arresting Benjamin. Belle only wants to play her music, but her unborn baby’s father offers her something more.
Amber, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Arresting Benjamin.
Arresting Benjamin by Amber Daulton
Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
A one-night stand, a surprise baby, and a mysterious stalker.
Mechanic Benjamin Starwell can’t stop thinking about Belle Hamlin, the ballsy musician he slept with and skipped out on months earlier. He never meant to get her pregnant, but he’ll do whatever it takes to win back her trust and be a part of his child’s life. His desire for Belle drives him to be a better man, but he’s worn thin with a garage to run and his estranged sister dumping her troubles on him.
Belle’s juggling impending motherhood, her indie rock career, and a stalker who’s determined to see her fail. Even though she’s desperate to get her priorities straight, she pushes aside her past hurt and welcomes Benji back into her bed. She never expects him to slip into her heart.
When the danger escalates, they face the greatest challenge of all—protecting their unborn child.
Why did you write this book?
I introduced Benji and Belle back in book 1, Arresting Mason, since they were good friends with that book’s hero and heroine, and I was eager to give them a story of their own. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should pair them together, but that soon became clear as I got to know them better.
They finally meet for the first time off page a few months before their book officially begins. That encounter results in a smokin’ hot one-night stand and changes their lives forever.
I typically write on a schedule with several books planned out for the next couple of years, so I was super excited when it finally came time to write Arresting Benjamin. I’ve wanted to write a romance starring a female musician for a while, and Belle took care of that craving.
What is your favorite genre to read?
As a romance author, I’m going with the clichĂ© answer: romance. I don’t care if it’s hot, clean, sci/fi, thriller, comedy, or contemporary, I love reading about two (or more!) people falling in love and dealing with the trouble that pops up along the way
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Must I choose? There are so many good ones out there.
Lately, I’ve been re-watching the 1980s TV version of Sherlock Holmes, starring Jeremy Brett. Not only is Holmes a great literary and cultural figure, I think Brett was the perfect casting choice to play Holmes. He brings such life, pizzazz, and intelligence to the character beyond the already established literary base.
What are you working on at the moment?
Currently, I’m writing the first book in a new five-book paranormal/shifter romance series. I can’t say too much about it, but it meshes a few niche tropes that I hope readers will love.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Trevor’s Redemption, book 3.5 in the Arresting Onyx series, will be released exclusively in the Dangerous Entanglements box set on December 6, 2022. Stay tuned. I’ll be sure to share it on RLF.

Envy & Favour (Sins of the Virtuous Book 6) by Faye Hall
Genre Historical Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): M15+
For years Atol Livia has desired only one thing—to move north, far from the corruption of his father’s business, and start a life with the woman he loves. That is if Anna Jenel can look past his poverty and will agree to marry him. When Anna informs him that she gave her heart to him long ago, never once caring about any wealth he might have, he’s elated. But their plans are delayed when Atol’s father is found murdered. Once Atol has finally settled his obligations and is able to leave town, he goes to collect Anna but discovers that she is gone.
Anna doesn’t understand why her father whisked her away in the middle of the night to travel north. When they arrive, she finds a fully operational cattle station, and an associate of her father’s willing to do anything to gain possession of it—even marry her.
When Atol arrives up north, all he can think of is being reunited with Anna. But he soon discovers that the man who murdered his father now has his eyes set on Anna and will do whatever is necessary in order to have her as his wife. This man is determined to gain possession of Anna’s cattle station and the orange sapphires hidden there.
Will Atol and Anna be able to protect each other from a murderer, or will they fall victim to the envy of this man and lose each other forever?

Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Secrets can protect what the truth will destroy.
Elidor MacKenzie has a gift she can’t return—the ability to absorb the joy, pain, and suffering of others. She’s spent her life running from what she considers her curse. Now, her best friend is dead, and she alone holds the key to an archaeological discovery that could destroy a culture. With newfound inner peace, Elidor has returned home to make amends and guard the secret revelation. But greed-driven scavengers have followed her. Once again, the energies of Joshua will stir the hurricane, with her at the deadly center.
Jules never got over Elidor. Twenty years and a famous journalism career later, he’s back in Joshua—and so is his first love. If his heart can stand the torture, he’ll risk reviving their relationship. But saving Elidor from herself and the secret she won’t give up may be the death of them both.
With Jules by her side, Elidor is determined to outrun the scavengers, guard the secret, and renew their love. But fate is coming after her, and there’s nowhere the couple can hide.
Why did you write this book?
This book concludes The MacKenzie Chronicles. Three siblings grew up in Joshua, Arizona, the products of a hippie couple who settled there in the sixties. In Curse of Wolf Falls, Elidor, the youngest, has returned home to Joshua to come to grips with her inner demons and protect an archaeological find that would destroy a culture if discovered.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love what I write and enjoy reading other Romantic Suspense books. I enjoy any suspense book that is character driven.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
There are a few, but if I have to choose just one, I’ll say Detective Davenport from the Prey Series.
What are you working on at the moment?
I have two projects in the works. I am updating a series that I recently had the rights reverted back to me. I plan to self-publish under the Wild Horse Peaks Series. The other project has me venturing in to new waters. I am co-writing a Cozy Mystery series entitled The Chocolate Martini Sisters. I’m having great fun with this.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I hope to release the first book in my Wild Horse Peaks Series shortly after the first of the year. And the first Chocolate Martini Sisters Mystery, Candy, Cigarettes, and Murder should be releasing in March.
